Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Personally, I would not choose to eat milk or eggs from genetically-engineered animals. We have no idea how the food from gene-altered animals would affect human health, wildlife, domesticated animals or the environment. Yet the FDA has just proposed rules that would allow the sale of gene-altered milk or meat without requiring labeling. Consumers deserve the right to know whether their food is from genetically modified plants or animals. Demand that the FDA require labeling of gene-altered foods: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AbQbT/W58k/ANR12 They are talking about pigs that are going to have mouse genes in them -- and they think this should not be labeled for consumers? Milk from cows engineered to produce antibiotics would not be labeled? It's the latest effort by the FDA to leave consumers in the dark about what they're putting in their bodies. Not only should the milk and meat from these animals be studied to determine if they are safe, they should be labeled so we know exactly what we are buying. But we only have until October 31 to gather comments to the FDA. Please take a moment today -- and tell the FDA that you want to know the facts about the foods you buy: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AbQbT/W58k/ANR12 Thanks for taking action!
